Legendary Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has said that Mohammad Akram will replace Misbah-ul-Haq as chief selector.
Misbah stepped down from the role on Wednesday, saying that he wants to focus more on being Pakistan’s head coach.
Akram used to be Pakistan’s bowling coach and is the Peshawar Zalmi’s Director of Cricket during the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Akhtar said his sources told him that the 46-year-old will take over and wished him good luck.
From what my sources tell me, Muhammad Akram will be the new chief selector. Good luck to him on this tricky but important position.
